Those of you who know me know that I am a symmetrical kind of girl. Everything has to be balanced, the same on each side, so when I decided to try to make a mobius I was definitely out of my comfort zone.
What is a mobius? It is a free form sculpture. There are twists and turns with no way to define the beginning and the end. It is usually asymmetrical.
Creating a mobius has become sort of a challenge within The Art of Pine Needle Basketry Facebook community. Yes, I am a member and have been intrigued by the number of people who have tried to make one. Their designs are stunning. Could I make one too? The impetus for me happened when a fellow member of a pine needle basketry club I belong to started one; it was time for me to give it a try.
I began with wire, pine needles, and thread to create a circle. I built out that circle for four rows then began the twists and turns. The photos below give you an idea of how it was constructed.
